On my recent trip to Hawaii I did a night snorkel to see manta rays. It was an awesome experience to see these gentle giants up close as they swooped and swirled around scooping up plankton attracted by the lights. A link to the video can be found in the description in the next photo.

ليله دانه لدان ... ليله دانه لدان
ليله دانه لدان ... يا طائر الأشجان
أبكي إذا غرّد ... طائر على الأشجار
وأقول إن ردد ... وباح بالأسرار
كأنّه معبد ... قد حرك الأوتار
هيّجت أشجاني ... يا طائر الأشجان
هيّجت يا قمري ... بصوتك الملحون
ماكان في صدري ... من سريّ المكنون
حتى مضى دهري ... وخاطري مفتون
هايم شجي عالي ... لا يعرف السلوان
ما لذّ لي بعدك ... مشرب ولا مطعم
فقد ترك بُعدك ... جوانحي تضرم
فاذكر سقى عهدك ... حبيبك الأحوم
وبدرك الغالي ... وظبيّك الفتان
محبّتك دعوى ... ما إن لها برهان
فإنّ من يهوى ... يقول يا فتان
يا جنة المأوى ... للعاشق الولهان
انظر إلى شاني ... فما رقى لي شان
أخرت في كتبك ... أيام بل أشهر
ما أنت في حبّك ... صادق كما تذكر
لو كنت في قلبك ... وفـخاطرك أخطر

With the onset of the Lionfish invasion in 2008, the Cayman Islands Department of Environment approved the use of hand held nets under a culling license to cull/kill lionfish ostensibly to protect the reef fish populations from being decimated.
These 4 photos show local recreational divers with captured lionfish prior to euthanizing them.
Published in conjunction with an article on the current state of lionfish culling in the Cayman Islands.

Went to the Mornington Racecourse for the car show....They had some flowers there in their gardens so i took a couple of captures.... Thanks to 4 contacts who told me what this flower was CHEERS!!.....xxxxxx Michelle..
Remains of a building in the, what was once, Doncaster Waterdale Centre. The whole complex is in the process of being flattened and the reason has quite a bit of history. What was once a thriving hub of activities, with retail shops and cafe's, connected to a multi story car park and bus station, it was a perfect site for shoppers passign thru. SO what happened?
The new terminal for public transport, linked up the buses and train station with a direct link into the Frenchgate centre via a brand new building extension. This had an immediate effect on the waterdale footfall, which was then followed up by the closure of the bus station on the ground floor next to the waterdale, and footfall al but dried up, with the Frenchgate now happily absorbing the customers, to the detriment of the Waterdale centre.
Unfortunately, the Waterdale could no longer compete with the Frenchgate, and the writing was on the wall.
I cannot believe that this was accidental, town planners have historically always known about this type of thing, chains of events etc, so it is no surpise that the whole area will become.... Lets just leave it to "google" to tell the story to anyone interested, but for now, all I can tell you is that the area is earmarked to be the "civic and cultural quarter"...
I have taken a few more images which I will post at a later date, but unfortunately, I got there too late to capture the fabric of the old site, it is pretty much a wasteland now.

from Wikipedia
IC 5146 (also Caldwell 19, Sh 2-125, and the Cocoon Nebula) is a reflection/emission nebula in the constellation Cygnus. The NGC description refers to IC 5146 as a cluster of 9.5 mag stars involved in a bright and dark nebula. The cluster is also known as Collinder 470. It is located near the naked-eye star Pi Cygni, the open cluster NGC 7209 in Lacerta, and the bright open cluster M39. The cluster is about 4,000 ly away, and the central star that lights it formed about 100,000 years ago. The nebula is about 12 arcmins across, which is equivalent to a span of 15 light years.
When viewing IC 5146, dark nebula Barnard 168 (B168) forms the dark lane that surrounds the cluster and projects westward forming a 'tail' behind the Cocoon.
IC 5146 is a stellar nursery where star-formation is ongoing. Observations by both the Spitzer Space Telescope and the Chandra X-ray Observatory have collectively identified hundreds of young stellar objects. Young stars are seen in both the emission nebula, where gas has been ionized by massive young stars, and in the infrared-dark molecular cloud that forms the "tail". The most-massive star in the region is BD +46 3474, a star of class B1 that is an estimated 14±4 times the mass of the sun.
Another interesting star in the nebula is BD +46 3471, which is an example of a HAeBe star, an intermediate mass star with strong emission lines in its spectrum.
This is a series of web captures taken in about 12 seconds while searching for an available domain name. Joel told me about this company, Network Solutions, that sells domain names at high prices and will then temporarily hold a name if you search for it on their site. Capture 1 is on Godaddy.com showing my new domain name available. Then Capture 2 shows it's availability from Network Solutions at a higher price, $35 a year. So I go back to Godaddy to purchase it for $9.99 a year and I am informed that it is already taken, Capture 3. Apparently Network Solutions puts a temporary purchase on it so that I can't go and buy it cheaper elsewhere. Do not do business with Network Solutions they are thieves.
